Minister, last week you heard the Canadian PM encourage middle powers like Australia to invest in our Australian made AI. This is not just a sovereignty issue; it's also a national security issue. It is so damn important, but we still have no minister for AI. Canada has invested $4.4 billion. Meanwhile, we're letting big tech take Australians for a ride. Can the minister tell me why we aren't investing in Australian made AI?
